How do you evaluate the impact / effect of the ISW program?

Please modify or add to this list of ideas. Participants who attended the 2011 meeting at Bow Valley College were interviewed. Here is what they suggested:

Formal

  • evaluation forms - satisfaction & transfer of learning (pre and post)
  • 6 month follow-up
  • post observation
  • email survey / qustionnaire
  • formal research project (qual / quant
  • enrollment (stats)
  • looking to student impact
  • daily feedback forms
  • focus groups

Informal

  • e-mail follow up
  • coffee /lunch
  • tracking who /programs that are interested (trends?)
  • rippling use / interest word of mouth
  • escalation of need (rippling of shared experience)
  • communities of practice (social media - groups)
  • monthly get togethers
  • annual ISW alumni events (dream)
